CLIENT REVIEWS

Dustin Storm is awesome. He did my sons 1st tattoo. Did an amazing job. Thanks Dustin!!!

•

Dustin is an amazing tattoo artist! His work is phenomenally beautiful

•

I went in to get a tattoo and I already had an idea of what I wanted from a picture of Gungnir, particular the one from God of war Ragnarok that Odin uses. Dustin was able to fit me in that day after his last appointment and I think he did a solid job. Overall I loved how it turned out. And I can't wait to go back to get my next tattoo.

•

Highly recommend Dustin Storm. He has turned a tired old tatoo into something bright and beautiful with this cover up flower. He did a couples tatoo for me and my husband of a beach scene that matches and a beautiful bible verse as well on another arm. I am already planning my next piece.

•

Did a walk-in for a consult and was able to get tattooed within minutes thanks to a cancellation. Dustin looked at what I wanted and was able to bring my tattoo to life. It looks better than I imagined it would. He was super nice and personable. Found my go-to person for future tattoos. The shop is very clean and pricing is reasonable. Highly recommend checking them out; you will not be disappointed.

•

Dustin took the time to listen to what I wanted, made sure placement was perfect, and even made sure I had a break when needed.

•

Dustin is a BEAST!! Hands down the best tattoo artist I've come across and the only one I will go to from now on. He has done 2 tattoos for me already and did phenomenal on both of them. The one in this picture was him fixing what another tattoo person did a bad job on (at another well known place).

Storm Ink Design Tattoo Aftercare Guide

(DermShield, Plastic Wrap, and General Healing Instructions — Augusta, GA)

Proper aftercare is essential to protect your new tattoo and ensure it heals clean, bright, and long-lasting. These instructions apply to all tattoos we create at Storm Ink Design in Augusta, Aiken, and the CSRA, including illustrative realism, Neo Traditional, vibrant color, black and grey, and cover-up tattoos.

DermShield Aftercare (Saniderm-Style Bandage)

After your tattoo is wrapped with a DermShield adhesive bandage, leave it on for 1–3 days.
Note: If you experience redness, irritation, or itching around the bandage shortly after application, remove it early and contact me with any questions.

You may shower normally with DermShield applied — it’s waterproof — but avoid hot tubs, swimming, saunas, sunbathing, and strenuous exercise until the tattoo is fully healed.

Fluid buildup under the bandage is completely normal.
If the fluid becomes excessive or begins leaking:

  • Remove the DermShield and apply a new one, or

  • Clean the area with hypoallergenic soap, pat dry with a clean paper towel, and apply a fresh piece.

Removing DermShield

Always remove DermShield under running water or in the shower to loosen the adhesive.
Peel the bandage low and slow, pulling it back toward the skin — not upward.

After removal:

  1. Wash thoroughly with a hypoallergenic antibacterial soap.

  2. Remove all dried plasma or buildup.

  3. Rinse and pat dry with a clean paper towel.

You may apply a second or third DermShield bandage, each lasting up to 4 days, if desired.

Once you choose to stop using DermShield, apply a thin layer of unscented lotion several times per day to ease dryness and itching.

Plastic Wrap Aftercare

If DermShield wasn’t used due to allergies or tattoo size, your tattoo may be wrapped in plastic wrap.
You can leave this wrap on for up to 12 hours.

If excessive fluid builds up, remove it earlier.

After removing the wrap:

  1. Wash with a hypoallergenic soap under running water or in the shower.

  2. Remove all dried plasma.

  3. Rinse and pat dry with a clean paper towel.

  4. Do not re-wrap the tattoo.

Wait 1–3 days before applying lotion. Once the skin begins to feel tight or itchy, moisturize several times daily.

Avoid hot tubs, pools, lakes, sun exposure, and heavy sweating until fully healed.

General Tattoo Aftercare

For best results, use quality, fragrance-free products such as:

  • Recovery Aftercare Lotion or Balm

  • Lubriderm

  • Curel

  • Jergens

  • Other unscented, gentle moisturizers

For washing, we recommend:

  • Recovery Aftercare Soap

  • Any hypoallergenic antibacterial liquid soap

  • Dial Gold (classic)

Continue avoiding swimming, tanning, hot tubs, and intense workouts until the tattoo is completely healed.

If you ever have questions, concerns, or want me to check your healing progress, feel free to come in or email photos at any time.

Important

Seek medical attention if you experience signs of infection such as:

  • Excessive swelling

  • Unusual discoloration

  • Open sores

  • Pus or foul odor

  • Fever or spreading redness.
